Question

2001 v6 catback exhaust install. PLEASE HELP!!!


I have a 2001 v6 3.8 liter mustang. I have purchased

Pacesetter shorty headers
Pypes X-pipe w/ hi flow cats (gotta stay legal)
SLP loudmouth catback for GT

I have done some research and cannot seem to find a solid answer and any help would be greatly appreciated.

What parts are needed to install the catback while still using my stock v6 bumper. I do not wish to cut it, nor can I afford to replace it with the GT bumper.

All you need is hangers to hang the pipes just below the bumper

I am having a shop do it. I have heard that having the gt hangers will suffice and allow me to use the stock bumpers but i cannot find this part anywhere. I have also seen a couple of hanger extenders in a few installation articles, but cannot find that part anywhere either. any1 know where to possibly find these or have any other ideas?

if you are having a shop install it they should have hangers there. My exhaust is all from a shop and they did everything, put the hangers and it all.
